This author taught 30 years ago and is still teaching today. Some of our readers went to school in the 70's and 80's and can identify with these immense changes. Teaching was the norm in those years. Teachers had their favorite lessons for certain subjects and tests that matched those lessons. Kids came to school to learn then just as they come to school today - to learn. Big difference though. Today the focus is on learning, not teaching. Interesting read. I do believe, however, that in many of our schools our older teachers have not made that switch. Do you agree?
